Thumbs up

I retract my last statements this low mount turblown system gonna be hella nice this set up looks nice deff gonna go with the agency power pulley to have the 3" cooler piping just nervouse about the turbo being so close to the intake manifold an the fitting of exhaust flange exit.

It is the best flowing kit on the market by far. I just was not willing to deal with the compromises. When I herd they were doing a proper low mount kit I decided to sell my very nice FI kit for there set up despite the wait I herd about from my friends overseas.

Get that to fit with my greddy IC piping (seems to be on the right track for that) and the Brace and I'm sold on a Greddy turbo upgrade

I'm not sure if it is better or worse than the version 0.1 that I got...

That's debatable. Both are a train wreck. I would love for someone to put it in solidworks works and do one of those simulated stress tests on on it.

Do you honestly think it will hold together? The factory bracket is three legged, I just don't see how this will be strong enough to hold up to the forces it will see. I would really be interested in hearing some opinions from some engineers or people with fabrication experience.

I just like how its a bunch of metal laid down and tigged together. Could have at least cleaned it all up and welded it all around so it looks like a solid piece. I am no welder so I dont know if the welds on here are good enough to handle stress, but regardless that wouldn't be a product I would be proud to show someone

You should take the factory bracket and engine mount too so he can get a an idea of what it is supposed to do.
